India parcels
Estimate the likely delivery-company charge for a non-gift, non-excise parcel entering India.
Rules as of 2026-06, last checked (version 2026.06.25-v1). Note: 2026 de-minimis rules are changing — always confirm the current rule with the official source before relying on this estimate.
No general de-minimis (bona fide gifts up to ~INR 5,000 may be exempt). Concretely, customs duty is generally not charged on consignments at or below INR 5,000, but IGST (estimated) can apply from the first unit of value. This estimate does not model gifts, excise goods, business imports, or customs reliefs.
Category rates are deliberately broad and flagged for review. Each should be narrowed with representative commodity or tariff codes and an official source before relying on it for a real shipment.

It estimates item price, shipping, insurance, simplified customs duty, igst (estimated), a carrier handling fee, and the total landed cost. It excludes excise goods such as alcohol and tobacco.
No. It uses simplified category buckets, so final charges depend on the exact commodity or tariff code, origin, reliefs, and the carrier's clearance process.
Estimate only. This calculator does not provide customs, legal, or tax advice. Final charges are determined by Indian Customs (CBIC) and the parcel carrier. India levies Basic Customs Duty (BCD), a Social Welfare Surcharge, and IGST on imports, and rates change with each Union Budget. Category rates here are broad placeholders; verify the exact tariff heading and the current rule before relying on this estimate.
